Good thing this pharmacist was in Texas, if he was in Oklahoma he might have been charged with murder one like happened a few weeks ago in an almost exactly similar case.
There are some significant differences in the cases. The big one being this guy killed him the first time, he didn’t come back and finish the job. The pharmacist in Oklahoma wasn’t charged until it was determined that his first shot didn’t kill the robber.
Probably not.
The Texan didn’t walk up to the unconscious man and pump another couple rounds into the crook.
Even the Oklahama DA says the first shots were justifiable, but the follow up “coup de gras” shots were murder.
I think the law will agree with him.
